HEMINGWAY'S TWENTIETH-CENTURY MEDIEVALISM

Hogge, Robert Melton January 1980 (has links)
This study opposes the traditional argument that Ernest Hemingway uses settings in his major full-length fiction which primarily depict modern man's rootlessness. On the contrary, he carefully chooses settings, with Spain as the metaphorical center, which evoke a sense of the medieval past, a concept which I define and describe as "twentieth-century medievalism." Although it is argued that Hemingway is cosmopolitan in his choice of settings, he excludes those settings which are not fundamentally Roman Catholic. In addition to his careful choice of settings and his use of medieval motifs, Hemingway also establishes the love relationship between man and woman as a central symbol for twentieth-century wholeness and unity. Once the concept of "twentieth-century medievalism" has been defined within Hemingway's major full-length fictional canon, the study then focuses on The Old Man and the Sea as the novel which consummately exemplifies how Hemingway's medievalism suggests microcosmic unity. An analysis of criticism written on The Old Man and the Sea shows the approaches to be highly eclectic and an important issue (whether the novel is a tragedy) to be unresolved. This study shows how "twentieth-century medievalism" provides a unified fictional microcosm for the novel and serves as a backdrop from which Hemingway projects his uniquely medieval modern-world tragedy. The Old Man and the Sea, however, is not simply a tragedy but is an artistic novel which correlates time (complete twenty-four-hour periods) with four literary modes of expression: comedy, lyricism, the heroic, and tragedy. During the initial days, Santiago is gradually transformed from a common fisherman to a lyric questioner of life's meaning, then to an epic hero, and finally to a tragic protagonist who acts out his role in a carefully delineated Aristotelian tragedy. Throughout the novel, the comic sense reminds both Santiago and the reader that the fisherman's experience is ultimately a comedy of transformations. The study concludes by relating the concept of artistic transformation to the emergence of the Hemingway myth and argues for a more sensible interpretation of the myth. Finally the study affirms that the intricacies of Hemingway's artistry have not been fully explored and offers the concept of "twentieth-century medievalism" as a technique to make more comprehensible Hemingway's romanticism.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Renata da Silva Schulz.pdf: 1769123 bytes, checksum: 9d3c4de0e502584c8e773a4bf8ca9627 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013 / Mestrado Acadêmico em Ciências do Cuidado em Saúde / Este estudo teve como objetivos avaliar a efetividade da intervenção acompanhamento por telefone comparado ao tratamento convencional em pacientes idosos de pós-operatório das cirurgias de colecistectomia e herniorrafia e o de analisar a evolução do diagnóstico de enfermagem Recuperação Cirúrgica Retardada (RCR) ao longo de quatro semanas nos grupos envolvidos. Método: Trata-se de um ensaio clínico controlado e randomizado, com abordagem quantitativa, realizado em dois hospitais de ensino do Rio de Janeiro. A amostra foi composta por 43 pacientes, acompanhados por 4 semanas. Para randomização da amostra utilizou-se o Programa Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) e como intervenção de enfermagem o acompanhamento por telefone para os pacientes do grupo experimento. Este estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Faculdade de Medicina, sob o protocolo nº 327/2010 e CAAE: 09911212.0.0000.5243. A coleta de dados foi realizada durante seis meses, pela enfermeira pesquisadora e por cinco examinadoras que passaram por treinamento diagnóstico. Resultados: Não houve diferença significativa, em nível de 5%, nas variáveis sociais e demográficas modificadas entre os dois grupos de tratamento. Observou-se queda significativa da primeira avaliação para a última avaliação para a característica definidora “perda do apetite com náuseas” do grupo experimento (p = 0,013). Entre a primeira e a última avaliação a característica definidora “precisa de ajuda para completar o autocuidado” no grupo controle apresentou tendência de queda (p = 0,041). Para os fatores relacionados houve queda significativa da “dor” no grupo experimento (p = 0,041) assim como o “sentimento pós-operatório” (p = 0,023). Conclusão: Houve baixa prevalência do diagnóstico de RCR nos grupos para as cirurgias estudadas. Apesar de não ter havido diferença estatística entre os grupos, observou-se maior tendência de queda no grupo experimento. O acompanhamento por telefone é um recurso de baixo custo, acessível por grande parte da população, com altas taxas de adesão e, por isto estendida ao atendimento em saúde pública e privada. Durante o contato telefônico as principais dúvidas foram em relação ao uso de medicações, a ferida operatória e a alimentação. Estudos com maior casuística são necessários para que se possa afirmar que há superioridade estatística quanto à incidência de Recuperação Cirúrgica Retardada quando comparada ao tratamento convencional. / This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention telephone follow-up compared with conventional treatment in elderly patients after cholecystectomy and hernia surgery and to analyze the evolution of nursing diagnosis Delayed Surgical Recovery (DSR) over four weeks, in the groups involved. Methodology: This was a randomized controlled trial with a quantitative approach, performed in two teaching hospitals in Rio de Janeiro. The sample consisted of 43 patients followed for 4 weeks. For randomization of the sample was used the program Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and as a nursing intervention, the follow-up by phone for patients in the experimental group. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Medicine, under protocol number 327/2010 and CAAE: CAAE: 09911212.0.0000.5243. Data collection was carried out over six months by the research nurse and five examiners who were trained for the diagnois. Results: No significant difference at 5% level, in the social and demographic variables, between the two treatment groups, was found. We observed a significant decrease of the first assessment to last assessment for the defining characteristic "loss of appetite with nausea" in the experimental group (p = 0.013). Between the first and last assessment the defining characteristic "need help to complete self-care" in the control group tended to decrease (p = 0.041). Factors related to significant falls in the "pain" in the experimental group (p = 0.041) as well as "feeling after surgery" (p = 0.023). Conclusion: There was a low prevalence of the diagnosis of DSR in groups for the surgeries studied. Although there was no statistical difference between the groups, there was a greater tendency to fall in the experimental group. Telephone follow-up is a low-cost resource, accessible by most of the population, with high rates of adherence and may be used for health care in public health system. During the telephone contact were the main questions regarding the use of medications, and the power to wound. Studies with larger samples are needed so that one can say that there are statistical superiority regarding the incidence of Delayed Surgical Recovery when compared to conventional treatment.

" 'Fish, you are going to have to die anyway. Do you have to kill me too?' " : Om tro i Ernest Hemingways The Old Man and the Sea

Johansson, Elliot January 2023 (has links)
In this study I’ve conducted an analysis of Ernest Hemingway’s short story The Old Man and the Sea where my focus has been analyzing the main character Santiago and how and in what ways he can symbolize mankind’s great need of faith. The definition of what faith is and can be understood as is based on the theory called “worldview” or “philosophy of life”. The usage of this theory is because the faith I’m analyzing, through Santiago, is one that is unspecified and dynamic. I’ve used two methods to conduct my analysis, hermeneutics and close-reading. My analysis is divided into three headlines which follow the progress of the novels story, each with a specific theme: Santiago, destiny and death. To answer the leading research question, how and in what ways Santiago can symbolize faith, I’ve formulated analysis questions for each heading which I’ve answered by with citing the novel and interpretating what said quote may signify regarding my study’s purpose. My conclusion for the study is, simply put, that Santiago in matter of fact does symbolize man’s great need of faith. I’ve examined how complex faith is, how it can be experienced and the importance of its functionality. In other words, my analysis has resulted in another, perhaps new, image of what faith is and can be.

Natural Innocence in "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", the Nick Adams Stories, and "The Old Man and the Sea"

Hall, Robert L. (Robert Lee), 1956- 05 1900 (has links)
Hemingway claims in Green Hills of Africa that "all modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn." If this basic idea is applied to his own work, elements of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn appear in some of Hemingway's Nick Adams stories and his novel The Old Man and the Sea. All major characters and several minor characters in these works share the quality of natural innocence, composed of their primitivism, sensibility, and active morality. Hemingway's Nick, Santiago, and Manolin, and Twain's Huck Finn and Jim reflect their authors' similar backgrounds and experiences and themselves come from similar environments. These environments are directly related to their continued possession and expression of their natural innocence.

The Family Health Strategy is the privileged locus for the production of integral health care, in view of its proximity to the social reality of the subjects and the bond with the community. The production of care is related to the ways of knowing and doing in daily health, maintaining direct relationships with the work process, permeating human relations, subjectivities, social values and the horizontal worker-user relationship. The social representations of the professionals about in the production of care to the elderly are revealed through decision-making and their daily practice in health, since their senses, social and cultural values direct their practice. This is a qualitative research, exploratory approach, a single case study, with the objective of understanding the social representations of the production of health care to the elderly in the perspective of the professionals of the Family Health Strategy, having as theoretical framework The Theory of Social Representations of Moscovici. The study was submitted to the Ethics Committee in Research involving Human beings, being evaluated and approved. The study participants were thirteen health professionals included in the Family Health Strategy in the City of Feira de Santana-BA. The technique of data collection was the semi-structured interview. The methods used for data analysis were similarity analysis, with the help of IRAMUTEQ software, and Bardin content analysis. The categories seized after data analysis and interpretation, were: "Being old" in the conception of professionals of the Family Health Strategy; Looks at the production of care for the elderly: the subject as the "object" of intervention or "center" of health care ?; Interface between a family and a family health team: Possibilities to (re) signify the health care practices of the elderly. The social representations of health professionals of the ESF seized in the study allow say that the production of care for the elderly is anchored in the technicist perspective of treatment production in detriment of care, which requires intersubjectivity and relational technologies. In order to transform care production into something familiar, ESF health professionals construct concepts and manifest them in practices based on the hegemonic biomedical model, which values hard and light-hard technologies rather than light technologies, disregarding the intersubjectivity of subjects. / O processo de envelhecimento ? um fen?meno progressivo e natural que implica modifica??es biol?gicas, psicol?gicas e sociais no indiv?duo, repercutindo em m?ltiplas dimens?es, inclusive no processo sa?de-doen?a e modos de ver e estar no mundo. A Estrat?gia de Sa?de da Fam?lia ? o l?cus privilegiado para a produ??o do cuidado integral em sa?de, tendo em vista sua aproxima??o com a realidade social dos sujeitos e o v?nculo com a comunidade. A produ??o do cuidado relaciona-se aos modos de saber e fazer no cotidiano em sa?de, mantendo rela??es diretas com o processo de trabalho, perpassando pelas rela??es humanas, subjetividades, valores sociais e uma rela??o horizontal trabalhador-usu?rio. As representa??es sociais dos profissionais acerca da produ??o do cuidado ao idoso s?o reveladas atrav?s das tomadas de decis?es e do seu fazer cotidiano em sa?de, visto que os seus sentidos, valores sociais e culturais direcionam a sua pr?tica. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, de abordagem explorat?ria, do tipo estudo de caso ?nico, com o objetivo de compreender as representa??es sociais da produ??o do cuidado em sa?de do idoso na ?tica dos profissionais da Estrat?gia de Sa?de da Fam?lia, tendo como marco te?rico a Teoria das Representa??es Sociais de Moscovici. O estudo foi submetido ? aprecia??o do Comit? de ?tica em Pesquisa envolvendo Seres Humanos, no qual foi avaliado e aprovado. Os participantes do estudo foram treze profissionais de sa?de inseridos na Estrat?gia de Sa?de da Fam?lia na cidade de Feira de Santana-BA. A t?cnica de coleta de dados foi a entrevista semi-estruturada. Os m?todos utilizados para an?lise de dados foram an?lise de similitude, com aux?lio do software IRAMUTEQ, e a t?cnica de an?lise de conte?do de Bardin. As categorias apreendidas ap?s an?lise e interpreta??o dos dados foram: ?Ser idoso? na concep??o dos profissionais da Estrat?gia de Sa?de da Fam?lia; Olhares sobre a produ??o do cuidado ao idoso: o sujeito como ?objeto? da interven??o ou ?centro? do cuidado em sa?de?; Interface entre a fam?lia e a equipe de Sa?de da Fam?lia: Possibilidades de (re)significar as pr?ticas de cuidado ? sa?de do idoso. As representa??es sociais dos profissionais de sa?de da ESF apreendidas neste estudo permitem afirmar que a produ??o do cuidado ao idoso est? ancorada na perspectiva tecnicista de produ??o de procedimentos em detrimento do cuidado, que demanda a intersubjetividade e tecnologias relacionais. No intuito de transformar a produ??o do cuidado em algo familiar, os profissionais de sa?de da ESF constroem conceitos e os manifestam em pr?ticas baseadas no modelo biom?dico hegem?nico, que valoriza as tecnologias duras e leve-duras em detrimento das tecnologias leves, desconsiderando a intersubjetividade dos sujeitos.

Violência contra a pessoa idosa: mapeamento dos delitos contra a pessoa idosa, no município de Palmas/TO

Lamounier, Eurípedes do Carmo 26 June 2018 (has links)
A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo identificar os dados referentes aos delitos praticados contra a pessoa idosa, no município de Palmas, estado do Tocantins, no intuito de subsidiar o poder público com dados que possibilitem conhecer o problema e implementar ações que visem mitigar e abolir a prática de violência contra a pessoa idosa. O envelhecimento populacional, apesar de historicamente ser um fenômeno recente, já produz reflexos em diversos setores sociais, evoluindo de forma célere e em grande escala. Não preparada para esse novo contexto social, a sociedade viu-se na necessidade de buscar meios que permitissem que essa nova parcela populacional não sofresse violações aos seus direitos fundamentais. Dentre os principais males que afligem a pessoa idosa, a violência tem se destacado, uma vez que degrada ainda mais a pessoa que já está em situação de vulnerabilidade. Assim, a pesquisa buscou a definição do conceito de violência contra a pessoa idosa, para, ao final, realizar o mapeamento dos delitos praticados contra a pessoa idosa, no município de Palmas/TO, como forma de propiciar às autoridades públicas informações que permitam a promoção de políticas públicas destinadas a erradicar os atos de violência contra a pessoa idosa. Por fim, verificou-se a necessidade de capacitação dos agentes públicos que participam do atendimento à pessoa idosa, como forma de aprimorar e garantir o acesso das pessoas idosas aos seus direitos fundamentais. / The present research aims to identify the data about the crimes committed against the elderly in the city of Palmas, state of Tocantins, in order to subsidize the public power with data that make it possible to know the problem and implement actions that aim to mitigate and abolish the practice violence against the elderly. Population aging, although historically a recent phenomenon, already produces reflexes in several social sectors, evolving rapidly and on a large scale. Unprepared for this new social context, society found itself in the need to seek means that would allow this new population not to suffer violations of their fundamental rights. Among the main ills that afflict the elderly, violence has been highlighted, since it further degrades the person who is already vulnerable. Thus, the research sought to define the concept of violence against the elderly, to finally carry out the mapping of the crimes committed against the elderly in the municipality of Palmas-TO, as a way to provide public authorities, data that allow the promotion of policies aimed at eradicating acts of violence against the elderly. Finally, there was a need for training of public agents involved in care for the elderly, as a way to improve and guarantee the access of the elderly to their fundamental rights.

Cunha, Paula Grandini 23 February 2018 (has links)
Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo avaliar um website com informações da área de Fonoaudiologia com enfoque em Doença de Parkinson. Foi elaborado um website contendo informações sobre a temática, com linguagem simples, clara e objetiva, com conteúdos concisos, embasados em livros, artigos indexados em bases de dados e manuais sobre a temática. A elaboração do website seguiu as etapas: análise e planejamento, modelagem, implementação e avaliação. Foram convidados avaliadores que fizeram parte das seguintes categorias: idoso (I), cuidador de idoso (CI) e fonoaudiólogo (F). Os grupos preencheram um formulário online com informações sobre identificação, frequência de uso da internet e nível de escolaridade. A amostra foi composta por 45 participantes sendo a maioria do sexo feminino (64,4%), sendo 15 idosos (média etária 68,13 anos), 15 cuidadores de idosos (média etária de 32,20 anos) e 15 fonoaudiólogos (média etária de 26,13 anos). A análise estatística foi realizada por meio do teste Kruskal-Wallis e Coeficiente de Correlação de Spearman. O conteúdo do website foi avaliado como adequado com maior classificação no submenu S4 (84%) e menor nos submenus S5 e S8 (77%). A comparação entre os 3 grupos das notas atribuídas ao conteúdo pelo teste de Kruskal-Wallis não mostrou diferença estatisticamente significante entre eles em nenhum dos submenus. Houve correlação significativa foi do grupo fonoaudiólogo no submenu S3, em relação ao tempo (p=0,006) e idade (p=0,014) com as notas atribuídas. O Coeficiente de Correlação de Spearman deu negativo implicando que quanto maior a idade e o tempo de formado do fonoaudiólogo, menores foram as notas atribuídas no submenu S3. Conclui-se que os conteúdos elaborados fundamentados em literatura científica, compondo um website de fonte de consulta e de complementação de informações confiáveis sobre Doença de Parkinson. / This research aimed to evaluate a website with information from the field of Speech Therapy with a focus on Parkinson\'s Disease. A website containing information on the subject was developed with simple, clear and objective language, with concise content, based on books, articles indexed in databases and manuals on the subject. The preparation of the website followed the steps: analysis and planning, modeling, implementation and evaluation. The evaluators were invited to participate in the following categories: elderly (I), caregiver of elderly (CI) and speech therapist (F). The groups completed an online form with information on identification, frequency of internet use and level of education. The sample consisted of 45 participants, the majority being female (64.4%), 15 elderly (mean age 68.13 years), 15 elderly caregivers (mean age 32.20 years), and 15 speech pathologists (average age of 26.13 years). Statistical analysis was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and Spearman\'s correlation coefficient. The content of the website was evaluated as \"appropriate\" with higher ranking in sub-menu S4 (84%) and lower in sub-menus S5 and S8 (77%). The comparison between the 3 groups of grades attributed to the content by the Kruskal-Wallis test did not show a statistically significant difference between them in any of the submenus. There was a significant correlation between the speech-language pathologist group in submenu S3, in relation to time (p = 0.006) and age (p = 0.014) with assigned scores. Spearman\'s Correlation Coefficient was negative, implying that the higher the age and the training time of the speech-language pathologist, the lower the scores assigned in submenu S3. It is concluded that the contents prepared based on scientific literature, composing a source website for consultation and complementing reliable information on Parkinson\'s Disease.
